That's Not My Elephant
That's not my elephant!
What do you mean that’s not your elephant?
My Ella has a long floppy nose.
You mean a trunk, it looks like a hose.
Ella uses it to suck up spaghetti. Having a long nose has its perks.
It’s called a trunk. And I don’t think that’s how it works…
She sucks it right off my dinner table.
Oh what a fable…
You don’t believe that I keep my elephant in my house?
What would make you think that? And yes, I have some doubts.
Well anyway, this isn’t my elephant.
I’m starting to think you don’t even own an elephant.
I plead the fifth.
The Bill of Rights? Really? You do realize you’re in Asia? A class of 2nd graders have
more wit.
Say what you want, but that’s not my elephant.
